• Erich Fromm
  • The Art of Loving
  • The Sane Society
  • Escape From Freedom
  • The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness [At the library]
• Herbert Marcuse
  • Eros and Civilization
  • One-Dimensional Man
  • Reason and Revolution
  • The Aesthetic Dimension.

All great works, but not for the uninitiated. Take your time before you get to him.

• Martin Heidegger.

Try a basic intro to his thought, and then eventually work your way to original works. He is one of the best, but one of the most difficult.

• Michel Foucault (studies of sexuality, institutions etc...)
• Noam Chomsky (for politics and language)
• Fredric Jameson (critique of postmodernism)
• George Santayana (theory of aesthetics)
• Arthur Koestler (so underrated, but less a philosopher than a VERY knowledgeable man about anything under the sun, particularly science and art, and after all, what else is more important than those ideas these days?)
